A Sailor's Lament
A Tribute to Sushanta Basu
You have shed your body of its earthly load
And set sail for your heavenly abode
On an elegant boat with beautiful lines
Designed by NA's using delicate splines
As you embark on your journey to the pearly gates
And the God of the seas, your arrival awaits
May your journey be blessed with placid seas
And propel you onward on a gentle breeze
You were a compassionate soul and lived a good life
Caring and giving and free of strife
So as from your mortal body you take your leave
We will remember you always, as we silently grieve.
